Universal Pictures reveals the first trailer for Michael Bay's Ambulance starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a bank robber on a job gone wrong. Based on the 2005 Danish film of the same name, the story centers on a working-class man desperate for money to pay for his wife's surgeries who elects to reach out to his criminal friend for help, getting roped into taking part in a $32 million bank heist. When the robbery goes wrong and they shoot a Los Angeles Police officer, they go on the run in an ambulance with an EMT and the dying officer as their hostages.
Gyllenhaal leads the cast of Ambulance alongside Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Eiza González, Garrett Dillahunt, A Martinez, Keir O'Donnell, Moses Ingram and Wale Folarin. Development on the film first got underway in 2015 when Salt helmer Phillip Noyce signed on to direct the project, though he would subsequently be replaced by Big Bad Wolves duo Navot Papushado and Aharan Keshales two years later and eventually Bay in 2020. After a brief casting shift from Dylan O'Brien to Abdul-Mateen II due to scheduling conflicts, production on Ambulance would get underway in January 2021 and with it having concluded in March, Universal is finally giving audiences a first taste of the film.
With a few months to go until the film's release, Universal has unveiled the first trailer for Ambulance. The video offers an introduction to Gyllenhaal and Abdul-Mateen II's desperate efforts to flee from the law with their high-value hostages in tow. Check out the exciting first trailer below:
Ambulance comes at an interesting moment for Michael Bay as he slowly makes his way back to the director's chair after departing from Paramount and their Transformers film franchise. The LA-based action thriller also marks a return to a more grounded story for the blockbuster director for the first time since 2013's Pain & Gain, with his first post-Transformers film being another globe-trotting actioner in Netflix's 6 Underground. The first trailer for Ambulance certainly features plenty of Bay's signature directorial style, from his endless Dutch angles to sweeping camera movement and large explosives, but also a good sense of heart in its central characters.
While Eiza González's character is not featured as prominently in the Ambulance trailer as that of Gyllenhaal and Abdul-Mateen II's, it will be interesting to see how her character is developed in comparison to her male leads. With the script coming from Chuck co-creator and Legends of Tomorrow alum Chris Fedak, audiences should expect to see a plenty capable and well-rounded trio of characters to watch paired with Bay's action-packed storytelling. Only time will tell when Ambulance hits theaters on February 18, 2022.
